Neighbors Try to Lure Gays/Lesbians

SAN DIEGO, CA - The _Los Angeles Times_ has reported that a heterosexual
couple, Linda and Mark PEnnington, in San Diego's Azalea Park district are
passing out fliers as part of a campaign to agressively attract gays and
lesbians into the neighborhood to boost declining property values.

        "The gays rescued Hillcrest, and we hope they can do the same for
Azalea Park," Mark Pennington told the _Times_.  "We know that gays are
good neighbors -- they take care of the property and they're
community-minded."

        The penningtons were joined by a dozen or so other straight and
gay Azalea Park residents who marched in San Diego's recent gay pride
parade carrying a banner reading, "Gays Welcome - Azalea Park."  The
residents also set up a booth at the post-parade festivities and passed
out hundreds of copies of a home-owner fact sheet with information about
housing in the neighborhood headlined "Expose Yourself to Azalea Park."

        Activists say the concerted effort to lure gays and lesbians to
the neighborhood is a national first.
